Letters Patent No. 109,875, dated December 6, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD-FANS.

The Schedule referred to these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. DAGGETT, of

South Vineland, in the (;ounty of Cumberland and State of. New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bread-Pans; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon which form a part of this specification, in

which- ""l igure'Tis'acentmtlongitudinal section of a doughpan.

Figure 2 isanend view of the same.

7 The nature of my invention consists in the construc tion of a pan for raising dough in the manner set forth.

In the annexed drawing- A represents the dough pan, and

A, the adjustable top or cover, which consists of a pan inverted, with its edges resting on the edges of pan A.

On the opposite ends, and at the center of A, are soldered the plates e, the said plates extending alit-tle above the edge of the pan, and having an opening, I, in them, the ohiectofwhich will be hereafter explained.

- Each of the plates 0 will have a groove at its iimer side, for the purpose of receiving a ring, 0.

The top A has also two metal plates, 11, soldered to it, corresponding in position to those on A, the

said plates having at their lower end a tongue, s, which extends downward and enters the openings I.

The object of this arrangement is to prevent the .top A from moving sidewise.

A lateral groove is made at the inner surface of platesb, for receiving the rings 0.

In the dough-pan A two vent-openings, t, are made,

The object of openings tis to vent any water that may not have been absorbed by the dough.

As soon as the dough has risen abovethe point of contact of. the top A and pan A, the vents tcan be covered by the lids g, and the'a-ir excluded from the bread-pan A.

In order to prevent the top A from moving endwise, the rings 0 will be brought down,.and its lower circumference pressed under the projection 2: on plate 0, thus holding the top A firmly in position.

Then the top A and pan A are separated, their respective rings can be used as handles. I

One great advantage I claim in the construction of my bread-pan is the excluding the air from the dough while in process of rising, and thus preventing the a-cetons fermentation, so fatal to bread in warm weather; for it can be seen that the pan A, being filled with dough, the moment saiddough begins to rise it closes the seam between pan A and top A, and renders the introduction of air impossible.

Having thus described my invention,

\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters -Patent, is

l. The bread-pan A,-in combination with the top A, when furnished with their respective plates 11 and e, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as set forth.

2. The plates 1), when supplied with rings 0 and tongues s, in combination with plates 0, when constructed with openings I and projections x, the whole constructed and operating substantially as specified.

In testimony that I olaiinthe foregoing as my own, I a-fiix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
